Apple’s new iPad brings 4G & better camera

With 4G LTE wireless, retina display, and a high-definition camera, Apple‘s third tablet is no doubt the best iPad yet, say those in the industry.

Apple CEO Tim Cook who introduced the new iPad in San Francisco Wednesday, called it the “posterchild of the post-PC world”, the Christian Science Monitor reported.

The new iPad has a breathtaking screen. Weighing in at 2048 by 1536 pixels, it boasts 3.1 million, one million more than a 1080p HDTV, which has only 1920 by 1080 pixels.

“The most ever in a mobile device,” said Cook.

Cook said the new iPad is designed to be held 15 inches from the face, as that makes the pixels indistinguishable to the human eye.

There’s also 40 percent better color saturation thanthe iPad 2 in this upgrade.

Of course, this is all possible thanks to Apple’s new A5X quad-core processor, allowing for stunning graphics and higher performance overall.
